One hour to go

I got about an hour to kill here before i head out the door from work. Here is a small recap of my day..

Went on a hunt this morning for the new Ferry Corsten CD “Right of Way”. I ended up finding it at Borders. While i was there i also picked up the new Linux Journal, Sysadmin and 2600 magazines. I should have plenty of reading for the rest of the week, not too mention the fact that Ferry’s new CD kicks ass. I’m hooked on the one single “Rock Your Body,Rock”, it’s a very addicting tune.

Talked to one of the HR people today at work in regards to my non-exsistent tuition assistence check. Turns out they had the paperwork for a few weeks now (even thought i submited it OVER a month ago) and they still dont have it processed it(figure that one out). The one lady is actually going to keep on it for a change. Which is nice because i think they are starting to get sick and tired of me harassing the department about it. But the way this shit hole of a company works you have to harass people in order to get stuff done.

Tomorrow is going to be abother busy day. I gotta get up early and get some stuff done in the morning. I want to get of my shelves straightened out and do some cleaning around the place. I’m going to need to stop holding off on cleaning the closet soon. I really need to get my parents crap out of there and straighten it up so i can toss some stuff in there thats sitting out in my room. I’m also thinking of contacting my old school and see if they still have their gaming club. I have a ton of older RPG’ books that i would like to donate to them. I dont have the time to do that stuff anymore, plus i can never find a good group to play with.

new KDE convert

Yeap, thats right. I am really making baby jesus crying all over the place. First i converted to Redhat over Debian and now i converted over to KDE from Gnome. I’m surprised i dont get kicked out of #linux for heresy :)
I would post about my weekend but i am exhausted, i think i’ll save that for the morning.

TGIF

Yeap thank god its Friday, this week has been long and sucky. I just want it to end.

Work

For a change i was productive at work tonight. I sent out a few emails that ineed to get sent out. Fixed up the unix srver space monitoring document and sent out a rough draft to the group, hopefully i can push it out Monday. Fixed my mail rules, the idiots in Clifton started messing around with their email scripts and i had to redo a few of my mail rules because of it. I also pitched the idea of moving our documentation from just word docs sitting on a shared drive to Solution Builder. So that way we have all our docs in one spot and can be searched. The boss man has to meat with the engineer that handles it and see if we can get something rolling.

Home

Found out that maybe my laptop battery isnt shot to hell like i thought. It held a charge longer then 15 minutes last night. Now i won’t have to drop $150 for a new battery just yet. I been thinking about getting a new laptop soon, i really been looking at the IBM thinkpads and want a T series really bad. Only problem is that the Thinkpads are $bling$ atleast for a T series, i also was checking out the R series as an alternative, or maybe a Fujitsu S series. But its going to be awhile before i can get one.

I also started cracking down on learning Perl again. I been trying to read atleast a chapter a day and do the exercises that are in the book. So far so good and been keeping with it. Then when i get pretty decent again, i am going to apply it for some Openview+perl kung-fu shit.

I’m just about done with 2 of my PS2 games. Been on the final stretch for both Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X. Hopefully i can get Kingdom Hearts done and out of the way this weekend. After that i can focus on getting FFX done and start playing FFX-2. I also need to start playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, i been taking too long of a break from that, plus there are 2 more games i want to get for the GBA. I dont want to get them till i am down with FFTA :)

After that i need to head out to the gym and meet up with Amanda
